Ahoy Mateys!! Greetings from the Privateers…..
It is nearing that special time of year again that we celebrate our nation's birthday and independence. Please join us on the 4th of July, for our annual Independence Day Parade Processional. Staging opens at 8am with the parade step off at 10 am SHARP. We will be parking at Coquina Beach North Boat Ramp; you will enter at the access road across from Coquina Beach South Entrance and be directed where to go and what to do from there.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE PARADE:
Please register your float/vehicle/golf cart by clicking the Register button to the left, or by printing and filling out an application. You can present the application to our staging martial when you arrive.
It is now a requirement by local authorities that parade floats ( any vehicle/trailer that has/uses a generator on board ) carry a 5 lb. ABC 2A-10B, C fire extinguisher and must have annual stamp or be certified from extinguisher company. You will be expected to have this the day of the parade or you cannot participate.

Child safe water toys are permitted to be used during the Parade. Please DO NOT throw water balloons or use hi powered water hose spray nozzles or anything that will deliver a hard stream of water that could cause bodily injury to a child. Please be respectful of others and do not spray anyone in the face or spray anyone holding expensive electronic equipment..

This is a processional; the other lane of traffic cannot be stopped. You must be on some type of wheels to participate.
This is a first come first serve parade. We cannot hold spots or give spaces between floats. If you are waiting for another float, please pull off and wait for the other party to join you before getting in line.
